WALLS OF BLOOD, the new project led by Canadian guitarist Glen Drover, will release its debut album, "Imperium", on February 22 via Metalville. The disc will contain 10 songs of "high-class power metal," with guest appearances by some of the genre's most acclaimed vocalists, including Tim Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH), Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT), Todd La Torre (QUEENSRŸCHE) and Henning Basse (METALLIUM, FIREWIND).

Ten years is enough time for everyone involved in Palaces to be honest, resulting in some fairly incredible admissions (neither Blythe nor Chris Adler liked Mark Morton’s lyrics for the title track initially; producer Devin Townsend didn’t listen to New American Gospel before accepting the job on Palaces, and when he saw the band live for the first time, opening for Mushroomhead, he walked away unconvinced that they were any good).
